Penguins sign versatile forward Blake Lizotte to 3-year contract extension

Blake Lizotte is now part of the Pittsburgh Penguins' long-term plan

JANUARY 12 • Associated Press

Snags three-year deal Lizotte agreed to terms on a three-year, $6.75 million contract extension with Pittsburgh on Monday.

Impact While Lizotte may not have a ton of fantasy upside, he has 10 points in 35 games this season, but he plays significant short-handed minutes for the Penguins (2:32 per game). As such, it's not a shock to see the organization locking up the fourth-line center for another three years at a reasonable $2.25 million AAV.

Solid play continues with goal Lizotte scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.

Overall, the 28-year-old forward is up to five goals, 10 points, 35 shots on net and 31 hits through 33 games this season. While he struggled to build traction offensively in the first half of the season, his recent surge during the Penguins' win streak gives him decent streaming value in deep fantasy leagues that value category coverage.

The 28-year-old forward should be good to handle a bottom-six role after this performance.

Impact Lizotte registered an assist, two hits and two blocks in 13:59 of ice time against Dallas on Sunday, so it's not immediately clear what might be bothering the 27-year-old forward. The Penguins had been getting healthy, with Justin Brazeau and Noel Acciari returning Sunday, but suddenly they are thin at forward again with both Lizotte and Evgeni Malkin (upper body) landing on injured reserve.

Impact Lizotte's third goal of the season placed the bow on top of a strong victory for Pittsburgh. Overall, the 27-year-old forward has four points and 24 shots on net through 19 games this season. He is currently behind the scoring pace he held in his first season with the Penguins, tallying 20 points through 59 games a year ago. However, Lizotte is heating up with three points in his last seven games. While his recent offensive output is encouraging, it's best to look elsewhere in fantasy until Lizotte sees an increased role with the Penguins.
